We haven't heard much about the eagerly anticipated Sharknado 2 since it was first announced in July, but now Syfy has announced an official title and release date for the upcoming sequel.

After reviewing more than 5,000 Twitter submissions to its "Name Sharknado 2" social media contest, the network announced that the official title will be Sharknado 2: The Second One.

As far as I'm concerned, Elysium is the best looking movie I've ever seen, the art direction and visual effects are absolutely flawless. I had moments where I couldn't tell what was CGI and what wasn't and I've never had that experience before with any film. In particular:

Kruger's facial reconstruction is going to stick with me until the day I die. I've never seen something that ****ing insane before.

I know there is criticism about the third act in both District 9 and Elysium but I vehemently disagree. I actually consider the third act to be the strongest aspect of each movie's narrative. They're great bloody payoffs to the set-ups of all the technological possibilities in their respective fictional worlds.

All in all, I loved it. It wasn't quite as amazing as District 9 but it reaffirmed my love for Neill Blomkamp. He is my favorite director on the planet. He's making the type of movies that I spent years day-dreaming of as a kid.

Elysium was pretty ******* incredible. I was not a fan at all of some of the fight scenes as the camera got way to shaky but other than that I loved everything about it. I thought Sharlto Copley was just incredible. Loved him in District 9 and he kills it as the villain here.

The Percy Jackson movies would be way more successful if they didn't hide Alexandra Daddario's boobs so much.

We Titans bros, we gotta stick together.

I'm very worried about Kick-Ass 2. It looks a lot more slapstick and less darkly humorous than the original.

Watched "The Place Beyond the Pines" the other day and it's one of the best flicks I have seen this year so far. A little long but very well made with kind of a unique storytelling structure.

I highly recommend it for movie buffs.

Could not agree more. I love the way Derek Cianfrance the director tells stories. I thought the three part of approach to the film was really neat and something you don't usually see in movies these days. Bradley Cooper was amazing, the music was great too. I thought it dragged on a little bit too, I originally thought it was going to end when the kid was riding his bike down the road his dad would bike on, but I thought the ending was great. The Place Beyond the Pines and Frances Ha are probably my two favorite movies so far this year.

Need a good list of movies to watch on netflix I've been watching a lot of random movies. Never been much an indie film guy, but I've been watching a lot of them the past few days even the most boring ones. I'm up for anything so list them!

EDIT: also on the topic of gosling I watched Lars and The Real Girl last night and it was one of the most awkward movies I've ever seen.

If you enjoy documentaries there is one on Netflix that blew my mind about the drug war in America called "The House I Live In". The director, Eugene Jarecki, is a favorite of mine. I loved the film because you really learn a lot about the war on drugs and how it effects you that you did not know before. Also the history behind it is pretty amazing too. The movie blew my mind.

I'd been meaning to watch it for a while and am glad you reminded me of it. Watched it last night and it's something I'd highly recommend it to just about anybody.

So remember that rumor going around last week about Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston potentially being on the short list to play Lex Luthor in the next Superman movie? Well, over the weekend Cranston responded to the rumor, and it sounds like he's interested.

Cranston, of course, is no stranger to the DC Universe. The actor also voiced Commissioner Gordon in 2011's Batman: Year One. Perhaps if things don't pan out in Metropolis, Cranston could return to the GCPD in the Batman vs. Superman film?
